Yes.

No.

This’ll be stalled until late January, and then it will go away

This is bending the knee

Oh, did you just get the memo?

LLMs are largely worthless (in the context of improving human society).

Neural Nets aimed at much more specific domains (recognizing and indicating metastases or other abnormalities in pathology slides for human review, for example) are EXTREMELY useful and worthwhile.

They are still bleeding edge. Samsung is making really impressive strides, but TSMC is simultaneously not resting on their laurels.

Their security guarantees involve “we will melt our chip foundries to slag if the PRC invades”. That’s not a joke. That’s an official element of their strategic defense policy. They are pointedly tying the bleeding edge of semiconductor manufacturing - which corresponds to a very fucking big chunk of the global economy - to their sovereignty and territorial integrity. And it’s frankly an extremely shrewd policy.

And it’s gonna get worse, because it’s a very lucrative industry AND it’s highly effective for propaganda.

MS will be sued over this and they will lose. This is not an ambiguous case. They fucked up. It’s essentially an unconsentual/unilateral alteration to a contract, which kinda violates the principle of, you know, a contract.

So the smart move here for AMD would have been to bin the chips differently according to their tested stability for power usage, like Intel T SKUs. It’s the same chip, but the “X” versions are running at full power (with bios options to turn it down to be more efficient, or aggressively scale power delivery, or what have you), and “E” versions that just always run at lower voltages and currents.

I agree that cutting TDP nearly in half while STILL pulling out a perf gain is remarkable, but also not something most gamers are going to care much about in the context of a desktop system.

And buy back a few billion in stock!

It dildoes

It’s actually pretty fun.

I feel like there could be a “picnic expansion” where pigeons and stuff are the bosses

TFW you’re an android, and do not have taste receptors

I mean, one of the main proximate causes of the failure to achieve orbit was that the concrete rebounded into the engines because Musk thought they could get away with not using blast mitigation

I unironically feel that that era had one of the most iconic youth styles in modern history

Side note: how in the ever loving fuck did the creators of Invader Zim convince the Nickelodeon execs that it was a “kids show” - and not just once, but for two seasons?
